The Things We Never Say by Elizabeth Strout captures the way grief reverberates through decades, the comfort found in deep friendships and the freedom that comes when we break free of our secrets. Artie Dam is a man with a secret. He spends his days teaching history to high schoolers, expanding their young minds, correcting their casual cruelties, and lending a kind word to those who need it most. He goes to holiday parties with his wife of three decades, makes small talk with neighbours, and, on weekends, takes his sailboat out on the beautiful Massachusetts Bay. But inside, Artie is plagued by feelings of isolation. He looks out at a world gone mad and turns a question over and over in his mind: how is it that we know so little about one another, even those closest to us?

The Booker Prize and the International Booker Prize are two of the world’s most significant and influential awards for a single book. The prizes recognise exceptional works of fiction and elevate the voices of nominated authors and translators by bringing their work to a global readership. The Children’s Booker Prize, which will launch in 2026 and be awarded annually from 2027, will celebrate the best contemporary fiction for children aged eight to 12 years old, written in or translated into English. 

We are driven by a simple belief that great fiction not only brings joy to millions, it has the power to change the way we think about the world and to connect people across cultures and generations. Our aim is to foster a love of reading, and to support writers and readers of the future.

Recent winners include; Taiwan Travelogue by Yáng Shuāng-zǐ and translated by Lin King, Flesh by David Szalay, Heart Lamp by Banu Mushtaq and translated by Deepa Bhasthi and Orbital by Samantha Harvey.
